Shattered (7 page)

Stop they are fine. When we get off the phone ill call Liam and tell him to go back the school and pick them all up. And they will meet us ok. Now get all your shit and get ready to come home ok.

Ok, ill see you soon. Thanks for this Storm I love ya big brother.

Oh now, don’t go getting all girly on me.

I hear his laugh and it’s a great sound to hear.

Ok Bye Brother. Im about to hang up when he calls my name.

Rain, he says just my name

Yeah

I love you to little sister, your doing the right thing. Ill be there in 5.

Then Storm is gone.  I don’t have much to pack to I grab the few things I do and stick them in the gym bag one of the guys brought for me. and walk to the door. I head down stairs to wait for Storm. The elevator is out so I have to take the stairs. I have a boot on my leg but maybe by the time I get down there Storm will be there and I wont have to wait long. Im on my last flight of stairs when the door above flies open and I hear Tyler yell” Get back here you stupid bitch. You think your going to get away from me that easy”. Im stuck. If I try to go faster I could fall. So I press my back against the wall and just wait. Any hopes I had of getting away are now gone, I know that but part of me still wants to fight for it.

Im grabbed from the back. His hand grabbing a fist full of my hair and im pulled back into his chest.

Your so stupid. Did you think I was going to let you get away that easy. I knew you would try to get away the first chance I wasn’t watching you. I knew I couldn’t trust you to do what you were told.

How does he know? As if he can read my thoughts he answers my question.

I was standing by the door when you called your brother. I know you Rainy. I know how your mind works. You aren’t going anywhere until im ready for you to go.

He pulls my hair tighter, my head goes to the side then Tyler licks the side of my neck.

Lets go you stupid whore.

But what about Storm, he will be downstairs looking for me. i come with you if you leave my brother alone.

He laughs, you talk as if you have a choice. There are no choices here. You are coming with me. or do I need to go find those kids of yours and use their bodies like I plan to use yours.

He knows he has me. I wont let him get to my kids. His laugh tells me he knows he has me right where he wants me.

That’s what I thought. Now move. We will deal with Storms stupid ass when we get down there.

I start walking. Tyler is still behind me with a hand full of my hair, guiding me to the door I need to exiting out of. Im worried how things are going to play out once we get downstairs. I know Storm is going pissed. I just home that he will forgive me. maybe Liam will tell him the reason why I keep going back. So much for putting up a fight right.

Getting downstairs, I see Storm getting out of his car. I know he will know im doing this against my will. He is a private investigator, his skill is reading people. He has always been able to read me like a book. He will know.

Tyler pushes me outside and gives my brother a shit eating grin. Storm stops walking once he sees that im with Tyler and that he has his arm around my shoulders.

Storm, what are doing here? How he can talk to Storm like that with a straight face, I will never know. I can see that my brother is trying to keep from punching Tyler in the face.

Rain, what the fuck is this? My brother asks me while keeping his eyes on Tyler the whole time. Before I ge a chance to speak Liam pulls in behind Storms car. Its not just Liam. Its also my boys. All three if them. Instead of answering Storm I look at my boys and ask them,

Why are yall here and not at school? What is you one and only job? School, that’s your job. I look at all three of my boys then at Liam and Storm.

Looking back at Liam I ask, what the hell are they doing here? Why aren’t they in school.

Liam sticks his hands in his pants pockets shoulders back and his head up, they wanted to be here when you were released. We all wanted to keep that piece of shit away from you. He nods his head in Tylers direction. Before I can speak Tyler decides he would like to be an asshole and fuck up any thoughts I had about trying to keep all this nice and calm right out the damn window.

Are you fucking stupid Rain? Your loser kids don’t need school. What are they teaching how to be a pimp or drug dealer now. that’s all those fucktards will ever be good at. Now Genesis, that girl can make big money, even now. you did good making that purty little thing there.

Before I can react or say anything Man is like a blur, and before I know what is happening Man has Tyler by his throat. Man picks Tyler up by his neck, places on hand on Tylers back and slams him onto the side walk. People stop walking and look at what is going on. Man keeps his hand around Tylers throat, while he straddles Tyler. You can see the fire in Man’s eyes. You can see the hate. You can see the desire that Man has to end his fathers life.

Man, let him go. Stop doing this now. people are watching. Don’t make his words ring true. Damnit I am keeping Gen safe. I start pulling on Man’s shirt trying to get him off Tyler when Callum grabs me around my waist and pulls me away from my husband and my son.

Cal what the hell are you doing, let me go. Do you have any idea what Tyler could do to Man. I start slapping at his hands. Cal is a lowkey kind of person. He doesn’t speak much, but when he does you should listen.

Mom…mom, listen to me. calm down and look around. People are everywhere. Man and Tyler are taking care of something we should have let happen a long time ago. Let this play out. Man knows what he is doing. Besides Uncle Liam and Uncle Storm aren’t going to let it go any futher then it should. Chill out mom.

Callum leads down and kisses my check. Let it go mom, all is good,k.

I just nod. This may be the hardest thing I will ever have to watch.

Don’t you ever fucking talk about my sister like that again. What the fuck is wrong with you. That’s your daughter man. You shouldn’t look at her that way. Your own blood man. You are sicker then I thought. Lets do it this way. Stay the hell away from all of us. Me my mom, my brothers and my sister. Don’t you dare even look at Gen. we are fucking dead to you, do you understand me you sick bastard.

Storm walks up to Man and pulls him off Tyler. But man isn’t finished. He gets out of Storms grip.

No Storm, not until he says he understands what I just said. Man looks Tyler dead in his eyes. Tell me you understand mother fucker.

Tyler is getting back to his feet. Tyler and man look so much alike they could almost pass as twins. Im really hoping that Tyler will just leave it alone and then we can go home, but what the hell am I thinking I am talking about Tyler Childs and he isn’t going to let anyone get anything over on him.

You little shit, Tyler says as he laughs and wipes his pants off.

I got to give you some credit thou, you are pretty strong considering your mother is a weak whore.

Callums arms go a little tight around me but then loosen right up. He whispers sorry in my ear and lets me go. Tyler has this shit eatin grin on his face. He wears it so much. I really hate his face. Malachi, Liam, Storm and Man all have looks that I swear could kill. I need to get Tyler out of here before someone kills him, because all of the men in my life look ready to kill. I walk away from Callum and toward Tyler but Man reaches out and grabs me.

Mom what are you doing? You are not going with Tyler are you?

Man doesn’t wait for me to answer he can tell by my face what the answer is.

Tyler doesn’t let me speak either, he is just trying to keep shit going. But if he only knew what the four of them could and want to do to him he may shit down and shut the hell up.

Your mom is coming with me. you think she is going to leave me for some bratty ass kids? Your mom is a well trained whore and she knows her place. Now for your do’s and donts. This goes for all of you. After this day Rain will not be allowed to see or talk to any of you. You are not to come to my house or call my house. I have someone that has agreed to… ets say watch ove Rainy while I live my life.

He looks over them making sure that they understand his next words.

If any of you come near her ill make it where the only way you will be able to speak to her is by talking to a fucking headstone. Now boy, do you got me!

Tyler reaches for me but instead of taking my hand he grabs my hair. What is it with guys and grabbing hair. Tyler yanks me to him we are face to face, he pulls my head back so far its like im looking at the sky.

Its time to say goodbye Rain, you know what will happen if you fight me on this.

Liam speaks for the first time. Not so much speaks at first but laughs.

So that’s what your using to get her to go with you. He taps Storm on the arm and says one word “Genesis” so im guessing Liam told Storm what I told him that night in the hospital. Storm also starts to laugh which in turn pisses Tyler off and he proves it by pulling my hair harder and bitting my cheek.

What the hell is so goddamn funny. He asks Liam and Storm. When they don’t answer he looks at me and says, what have you told them?  I want to shake my head nothing but I cant move my head. Storm beats me to speaking anyway.

Oh she didn’t have to tell us that you’re a pussy, we knew that already. No what she told Liam was that you like little girls but we knew that already to. What we didn’t know is that you want your own daughter laid benath you. That you crave the feel of her body like she is a grown ass woman instead of a 12 year old girl. Storm then looks to me, All good baby sister we aren’t going to let him get her. She is safe and always will. So if you go with him its because you want to not because you have to.

Wht do you mean Storm? Where is Gen? what have you done. Before I can say anything else Tylers phone goes off with what im guessing is a text tone. Im still waiting for Storm to answer me when Tyler puts his phone in front of my face. On the screen is a picture. Tylers voice is right at my ear.

You walk away with me now and he lets her go. You walk away with them I have my fun.

NO I say. Tyler no please let her go I whisper. What are you doing she is your daughter.

Stop saying shit like that Rain. You know they aren’t mine. You wanted to ruin my life and you did. Now make your fucking choice.

I left my head now that tyler let my hair go. Liam, Storm, Man, Callum and Malachi are all looking between me and Tylers phone. I return to the Rainy that Tyler trained me to me.

Its over yall. Let me go and let him win. It’s the only way to save Gen, it’s the only way to save all of you.

I walk up to Man, take care of them Man. You have to be strong. I know that there is a lot of shit that you don’t understand but soon and I mean vry soon you will. You have turned into a great man, I need you to show your brothers how to be strong men like you.

I kiss man on the cheek then hug and kiss each of my sons. Then make my way to Storm I wanna save Liam for last.

Storm, thank you for taking care of my babies and showing them what a man should be and teaching them to be strong. It means so much to me. I put my arms around his waist my head over his heart, when I pull back I tell him, now get them home. Stay home, Gen will be there soon and she will need you.

When he just stands there and looks at me I scream GO RIGHT FUCKING NOW STROM GO!!!!!

Storm walks around the car telling my boys to get in and lets go. Liam is asking whats going on is he needed, I grab his arm.

You are needed Liam and ill let you go but I need to make sure you know that everything I said to you up there is the truth. I need to know that you know how I feel.

Liam puts one hand on the side of my neck and pulls me to him. He doesn’t kiss me he just places his forehead on mine and says, I remember and believe it all Rain. I need you to know tht when I said I am and will get you out I meant it. If it takes my last fucking breath you will be with me. I will keep you safe as well as the kids.

When he finishes talking he kisses my forehead and tells me he loves me. I push him and tell him to go help Gen.

I turn to Tyler, did they let her go, Tyler? All he does is stand there smirking.

Tyler, I yell, did they let my daughter go?

Not yet, I hav a message I wanna give her from her mama.

I jump at him, I know ill never win and I may end up right back in the hospital but he is talkig about my daughter. I caught him off guard and he falls I jump on top of him and my hands just go wild. Im slapping and scrathing and punching, I know that if I live through this, I will pay for it. He gets tired of letting me hit on him I guess because next thing I know I am hit in the face. Instance blood just pouring from my nose and lip. My ribs are screaming for me to stop but I don’t.

Tyler throws me off and starts kicking me, im not sure if he is even aiming. When a kick hits my ribs the scream that rips through the air is filled with pain.  I relieaze I’m not being kicked anymore. When I open my eyes I see detective Falls has Tyler bend over a car and putting him in cuffs.

No, no, no this cant happen. If Tyler is in jail he cant call off his hounds. My whole body is in so much pain but I have to get up, its to save Genesis. I cant let anything happen to my baby girl. Who knows what has happen to her already and its my fault, because I was stupid enough to think I could leave Tyler and he would just let me go.
